TheAirbus A300 stands out for being the aircraft that got Airbus going and set it on the path to becoming the world’s largest airplane maker. However, this aircraft has been out of production for around 18 years, so how many of these old aircraft are still flying today? According to data from ch-aviation, there were a total of 132 examples still operational in early 2025, mostly as freighters. The world’s remaining passenger A300s are all flying in Iran, a nation blighted by sanctions.
